Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This sweet tea kettle is shaped like a domed straw beehive. Perched on the kettle's top and serving as a handle is an intricately detailed bee, its wings outstretched. The kettle's handle is stainless steel, coated in black rubber for a secure, cooler grip, while the body of the kettle is made of matte-black, highly conductive hard-anodized aluminum for rapid boiling. When not in use, the kettle should be rinsed and left empty to avoid mineral buildup. --Jennifer Harris

Product Description

Boil water for tea, cocoa, cup o' noodles and more quickly and efficiently in this anodized aluminum kettle. The perfect companion piece to your Calphalon cookware, it has a darling little bee on the lid for a whimsical touch. The heat resistant handle makes it extra easy to use.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent kettle, with one omission, May 3, 2001
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Calphalon 2-Quart Anodized Aluminum Bee Kettle (Kitchen)
This is a very good looking kettle, with a matt, dark gray finish. The handle is very comfortable, and the kettle is well balanced when full of water. Even though it has a small "footprint", it comes to the boil very quickly.

The lid fits well and does not fall off when pouring. BUT, the lid has no hole for steam escape, and the spout enters the kettle half way down the body of the kettle. This means that if the kettle is filled and the water boiled, one or more of three things happens: the steam pressure build up either blows boiling water out of the spout, or pops the lid off; or when pouring the water out, there's no way for air to get in to replace the water coming out, so air "gulps" in through the spout.

One other minor comment: the Bee is made of plastic, and looks like it may easily break if the lid is dropped.

This review is from: Calphalon 2-Quart Anodized Aluminum Bee Kettle (Kitchen)
i love the look and feel and size of this Calphalon 'Bee" Kettle, but it can be dangerous!!! - i have finally learned to always use a potholder when pouring my cup of morning hot water/coffee -- the steam comes right up and burns my hand..even with the cover ON.

5.0 out of 5 stars Faster heater, April 18, 2001
By 
Windhoundfan (Westcliffe, CO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Calphalon 2-Quart Anodized Aluminum Bee Kettle (Kitchen)
I absolutely love this teapot! It is beautiful and unique, and it heats water super fast. It doesn't have a whistle, but I don't find that a problem since I don't leave things unattended on the stove. Besides, this teapot heats the water so quickly who needs to stay away for long?

The feel to the handle is pleasant with its rubber covering and it is placed well back from any rising steam. The pot is well-balanced, substantial in weight- but not too heavy. The bee on top is very detailed and overall the style is different and elegant without the cartoonishness that alot of decorated kettles have. Its dull black finish doesn't show those splatters (that all things that sit on a stove get)as much as the shiny enameled pots.

All in all, I like this kettle and feel that it is worth the money. I am confident that it will be a part of my kitchen for my lifetime!
